Graham Koschman's G.K. Auto and Hire, a highly valued small plant supplier in Horsham, 300km northwest of Melbourne, has become the proud owner of the latest evolution of Toyota's Huski 5SDK5 loader.
It was delivered personally by Toyota Material Handling Australia's (TMHA's) area sales manager Mick Holohan, who responded to Mr Koschman's call to buy a new one, only the third in the life of his company.
Indeed, Huskis have been the business' anchor since it started in 1995.
"I bought my first, a second-hand blue 2SKD, when I was running a mechanical repair business and was looking for additional income," Graham said.
"It already had 8000 hours on it, and I added at least 2000 more."
Confidence in the quality of his Toyota Huski skid-steer soon convinced Graham to dry hire it, which in turn led to the formation of his now thriving rental business with an inventory of more than 30 machines and implements.
